Rear Spoiler Captive Nut Part # Identification

Car was rear-ended and then fixed, but the body shop did not fully attach the rear spoiler. I'm betting because they couldn't source this small nut. I've called the dealerships and they haven't been able to even identify the part in their catalogs. Hoping someone here can help me. I've attached a picture of the one remaining nut I have. There are four of them needed to attach the spoiler to the tailgate.




Thanks in advance.

I don't see it immediately either. You can find out what size bolt goes in here; that information could well help you find the nut. Looks like maybe 6-8 mm. It's possible another nut can do the job, although the rubber surrounding the nut looks fairly specific for the job. Good luck.

Think I finally found it. They call it a garnish nut. I've attached a photo of the part # I've ordered.

That's good sleuthing. Half (or more) of the deal is figuring out what it's called.
